Viral Video: Ranbir Kapoor Loses Cool at Paparazzi Near Alia Bhatt, Social Media Comes Out in Support
Bollywood star couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt recently made a public appearance at a special film screening in Mumbai, but the evening quickly turned into a viral internet moment after Ranbir appeared visibly upset with paparazzi crowding too close to the couple.
The actors attended the screening of Dadi Ki Shaadi, a project reportedly featuring Ranbir’s mother Neetu Kapoor and sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. While the event began as a casual family outing, videos from outside the venue soon spread across social media platforms, sparking discussions about celebrity privacy and paparazzi behavior.
What Happened at the Event?
According to videos circulating online, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt arrived together for the special screening when photographers rushed toward their car attempting to capture pictures.
As the couple stepped out, paparazzi reportedly surrounded the vehicle from multiple sides, creating a crowded and chaotic atmosphere.
One viral clip shows Ranbir appearing uncomfortable and irritated as photographers moved very close while trying to click photos. The actor was seen attempting to understand whether the photographers wanted proper posed pictures instead of aggressively crowding the couple.
After briefly speaking with them, Ranbir reportedly requested some space so that he and Alia could comfortably pose for photographs away from the rush.
In the video, he can reportedly be heard saying:
“You people want photos… come on.”
Soon after, photographers themselves were also heard asking others in the crowd to step back and make space.
Social Media Users Support Ranbir Kapoor
After the video surfaced online, many social media users defended Ranbir Kapoor’s reaction and criticized the behavior of paparazzi.
Several users argued that celebrities should be given basic personal space during public appearances, especially when attending family events rather than promotional activities.
Many comments online questioned why photographers often stand extremely close to actors despite security and comfort concerns.
Some users described Ranbir’s reaction as calm and controlled rather than aggressive, saying he simply requested reasonable distance for safer and better photographs.
The incident once again reignited conversations around celebrity privacy and the increasing intensity of paparazzi culture in India.
Ranbir and Alia’s Stylish Appearance
Despite the tense moment outside the venue, the couple’s appearance quickly attracted fashion attention online.
For the evening:
- Ranbir Kapoor wore a light teal polo T-shirt paired with loose beige trousers
- Alia Bhatt opted for an all-black outfit featuring a structured shirt and wide-leg trousers
She completed the look with small hoop earrings and a black shoulder bag, while Ranbir kept his style relaxed and minimal.
Fans on social media praised the couple’s understated yet elegant appearance at the screening.
